Moldova I can fully understand! I have some friends who came from Moldova (they are full blown Americans now). Sherman... by drinking... wow. I won’t get into details because they are beyond ugly but I attended my friend’s small birthday party. I am not a drinker... never have been really. They toast when a new person enters the home. They toast when someone leaves. They toast for today, yesterday, tomorrow and so on. My future plans include MAILING a birthday gift! (let’s leave it at that!!)
Moldovans apparently drink a lot more than Russians, which is hard to believe.
